How much notice do students need to provide in order to be accommodated?
Students should provide as much notice as possible. The amount of notice required to put an accommodation in place depends on the nature and uniqueness of the accommodation that the student is seeking. An accommodation that is regularly granted in a standardized fashion would require little notice. For example, students with dyslexia may routinely require more time to write a test than other students. However, a request that requires a unique approach or extensive resources and planning to implement will require much more lead time. For example, making changes to the laboratory portion of a science course for a student with a visual impairment might require specialized preparation of materials and procedures.
